That's the one: off camber, dark, greasy (even in the summer). Oncoming cars can't see you, or you them- the corner is also longer (and sharper) than you ever give it credit for and comes after a very fast, flowing 5-10 mins of riding.
You have to consciously scrub off more speed than you have for any of the corners leading up to it. I have had my fair share of dicey moments there (usually trying to hold Jaygee, Bainbridge or Dov's wheel).
